Testimonials

.. my wife Judy and I were part of the BAS “Exclusive Israel” tour last October. We have to say without reservation that it was the most informative, interesting, and fulfilling tour we have ever been on. Your leadership, experience, contacts, and expertise made the trip exceptionally worthwhile for us. We saw and learned so much during our two weeks together. It will long remain our “trip of a lifetime.” Even though it’s been a couple of months since the trip, we still wanted to personally thank you and also to give you some comments we had regarding the trip..
